Although not country narrowed; HEDJ for European area in particular and the $Euro. Review India once a week for trends/news affecting this area. No direct Asia exposure at this time.
I'm using DXJ for Japan exposure and have been very happy, but I'm betting on the BOJ more than on the Japanese economy or the companies in the fund. I've been thinking about Brazil exposure with EWZ but I'm hoping to make my investment if and/or when they link the current President to the corruption scandal going on now. I figure that might well be the bottom.
No. Don't feel that strongly about any one country and would rather pick single names. Plus, I don't want to try and trade momentum would rather invest longer-term.
In the past I've used DFJ (small cap Japan), EWS (Singapore), and EWH (Hong Kong) for value trading, but don't have any single-country ex-U.S. holdings now. EWS is at a 52-week low, but I'm not buying (at least yet) since it looks like there are plenty of good reasons for its being priced as it is now.
